See you on the rooftop

At two o'clock in the morning, the night rain suddenly stopped.

The rain came and went quickly and violently, and the sound of the rain made the canopy on the first floor of the family courtyard crackle and crackle.

Yuan Yao has always had a light sleep and is easily awakened.

He opened his eyes, glanced at the dark room in a daze, turned over again, lay on his stomach, grabbed the quilt and covered his head.He never sleeps in the middle of the bed. He has been sleeping close to the edge of the bed since he was a child, and now half of his legs are hanging out.

Yuan Yao didn't move, frowning tightly, breathing heavily.

In the dream, he was still a child, running in a dense and humid jungle, with a group of people chasing him closely behind him.

While chasing him, those people splashed some powdered white substance on him, shouted arrogantly, and even pointed pistols at him.His ankles were entangled in slippery, wet and sticky vines, he couldn't move, and he fell to his knees.

Looking back, he saw the dark eyes of the gun.

boom--

He was shot in the back, and the bullet took him from the jungle to the foot of Phoenix Mountain like a sharp arrow.

It was the same group of people who were still chasing him.

He came to the gate of No. [-] Middle School, facing a hidden bar open to minors. He lingered at the gate, but couldn't escape, so he had to kneel down in the middle of the road.

Those people filed out from the bar, and the number increased, more and more, densely filling the entire street.

With a knife in their hands, they rushed over from all directions and stabbed Yuan Yao's back. Not only did they stab, but they also scraped his flesh with the blades, and beat him with barbed wooden sticks... These scenes suddenly came to life. It overlaps with Yuan Yao's memory deep in his mind.

"Boom!"

Yuan Yao weighed more than 150 kilograms, and the sound of falling directly onto the bed was not small.

Both Xu Weidong and Yu Lanzhen came from the army, they were physically fit and tall, and all the beds in the house were high enough. This fall hurt Yuan Yao, and he hit the back of his head on the ground. He was paralyzed on the ground. Enlightenment.

The heavy quilt was entangled on his body, and he wanted to get out violently, but he couldn't pull it off.

Yuan Yao panted heavily, breathing heavily, as if someone had strangled his neck, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.After a while, he remembered that he should still be at Wishing House.

But in the next second, he was dragged into a dream again, and those people with murder weapons came flooding in like a tide, and photographed him on the rocky shore.

The clock on the wall ticked to three o'clock in the morning.

After cleaning the on-duty sanitation tonight, Yuan Yao didn't go to eat supper, but temporarily left his schoolbag in the security room of the No. [-] middle school guard, and then followed the "off-campus alley" mentioned by the white note to find the bar.

Yuan Yao asked the bar for a gin and tonic, chose an inconspicuous seat, and sat alone until after twelve o'clock in the morning.

As soon as he fell down like this, Wishing also woke up.

Although they didn't sleep in the same room, the sound of Yuan Yao falling to the ground was loud enough, making a wish and being buzzed by mosquitoes all night, half asleep, half awake, still scratching the bitten bump on his leg when he woke up.

"Why are there so many mosquitoes..."

Wishing that the whole person almost retracted into the quilt, but still couldn't block the sound of mosquitoes.At such times, the buzzing of mosquitoes is more terrifying than a winding bell.

Looks like Meteor doesn't work at all!

The wish was only dull for a second.

He quickly realized why he woke up suddenly. It was a strange sound from the next door, as if something had fallen.

When the sound came out, Wishing was still asleep.

He wasn't sure if the sound came from the bed to the floor, or from the window to the floor.

It was too late to make a wish, and she didn't change the short sleeves she wore to sleep. She immediately turned over and got out of bed, opened the bedroom door, rushed to Yuan Yao's door, and knocked: "Yuan Yao?"

No one answered.

I was so anxious to make a wish, I didn't care too much, I went to press the doorknob, and when I pressed it, I found that Yuan Yao was sleeping and locked the door.

This is a family courtyard, why is he locking the door?

Wishing to grow up in such a safe environment, there are only two understandings for the act of sleeping and locking the door: timid and afraid of thieves.

"Yuan Yao?" Wishing shouted again, patted the door panel, his strength gradually increased, "Are you okay?"

There was still no response, and there was a dead silence inside.

The entire Xu family was extremely quiet, you could hear the needle drop, and the only thing you could hear when making a wish was your own breathing.

Yuan Yao in the room was still in a nightmare, he could hear the wish calling him, but he was still on the road full of blood and screams at the entrance of No. [-] Middle School.

Xu's house is on the first floor, and there are more than one way to enter the second bedroom.

It was too late for Wishing to enter the house to add clothes, so he wore a short sleeve and a pair of cotton shorts, ran to the living room and opened the door of the house. As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind at the end of October roared in from the corridor, so cold that Wishing beat him. a shudder.

He didn't bother to feel how cold the autumn night was, so he stepped on the slippers he wore outside and ran out of the unit door.

In the early morning, there was no one in the family courtyard, and almost no one's house was still lit.

To make a wish, he first went around the window of Yuan Yao's bedroom, and then reached out to shoot the anti-theft window.

He felt that his heart rate was almost over a hundred beats a minute.

With this shot, he was so strong that the whole row of windows slammed and made a wish. At that moment, he thought, if the glass window was in disrepair and fell down and killed him, would he be acting bravely?

Wishing to turn on the flashlight of the mobile phone, and shine the faint light into the room, and can barely see someone lying on the ground through the cracks in the curtains.

"Yuan Yao,"

Wishing with disheveled hair and eager eyes, he tried to open the glass window lightly, only to find that Yuan Yao even locked the window, "What's wrong with you?"

A ray of light shines through.

The light was like a life-saving rope, and suddenly dragged Yuan Yao out of the endless black abyss.He opened his eyes suddenly, with his hands still propped on the floor, his eyes were wide open, and his composure was frightening.

"I……"

He was dumbfounded, looked at his "shape" lying on the floor, and then looked up at the window.

Wishing with a ray of light, he lay outside his window.

The next morning, Yuan Yao left very early.

After all the tossing around in the middle of the night, Wishing woke up a bit late, and when he woke up, the house was empty, only Yuan Yao's slippers were neatly placed at the door.

Make a wish and look at the time. Less than an hour before class starts, so I hurried to wash and change clothes. I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I rushed to school first.

As a result, he was so hungry all morning.

In the morning break, Li Chun at the next table was enjoying the breakfast brought by his buddy along the way. It was a hot flower roll and a cup of soy milk.

Seeing Wishing, Li Chun was staring eagerly, thinking that he was hungry, and proudly said, "Wishing, you want to eat too?"

Wishing was about to answer "I'm hungry" honestly, but Yuan Yao stopped writing at the back, afraid that the other party would eavesdrop on the conversation, so he began to say "I don't want to."

Not only was he hungry, but he also envied Li Chun for someone to bring him breakfast.He is a transfer student and a senior in high school, so it is difficult to find a good 1v1 partner in his class.

Oops.

Sure enough, adolescent boys are either gluey or hate each other.

In their cognition, a boy with a good relationship is "he is my brother", and a boy with a bad relationship is "he is pretending".

Is there a third possibility?

They are like glue and look at each other with disgust, isn't that flirting, just like him and Yuan Yao.

???

wrong.

Wishing to get goosebumps from this sudden thought.

Perhaps it was because of making a wish that his face was not very good, his lips turned pale from hunger, Li Chun asked, "Did you not eat breakfast?"

"No." Wishing shook his head.

As the weather got colder, the behavior of staying in bed also appeared. He and Yuan Yao didn't eat breakfast together, and they basically bought something on the way.

"Here, I'll give you one." Li Chun put the siu mai in another plastic bag on the wishing table.

As soon as he let it go, Shu Jingyi, who was handing out the morning listening test paper, also made a wish with a box of real fruit pills in his pocket, "Wish, this is for you to drink."

Not long after, milk, siu mai, and boiled eggs from a girl at the front table were piled up on the wishing table.

Yuan Yao at the back table slightly raised his eyelids.

Wishing with a crooked smile, he took the breakfast one by one, and when he went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, he ran to buy several cans of drinks and distributed them to the classmates who gave him breakfast one by one.

Yuan Yao didn't talk much to Wishing all day long.

I can't figure it out, but I don't want to suffer from "cold violence" for no reason, so I sent Yuan Yao a WeChat message after getting out of class after evening self-study:

—I won’t tell you about the fact that you rolled out of bed yesterday

--rest assured

After thinking about it for a while, I was afraid that he would be worried, so I added:

- we are brothers

The first two sentences were sent out and people didn't reply. After sending out the third sentence, Yuan Yao replied in seconds:

—Who is your brother?

The wish is even more confused, and they have lived together for so long and are not brothers, so what could it be.

"He's my boyfriend." Although the voice of the girl at the front table was very low, she was heard by the sharp ears of the wishing girl.

The girl continued, "If my mother finds out about his existence, then I will definitely not be able to use my mobile phone. So I have to be careful, and then..."

Looking at Li Chun, who was listening to the gossip, he realized that she was talking to Li Chun.

Wishing a sigh of relief, a false alarm.

Since making a wish that day without having breakfast, making a wish found that Yuan Yao woke up earlier than before.

But he didn't get up early to avoid going to school early, but bought some breakfast from a small noodle shop in the community every day, and then woke up on time, like an artificial alarm clock and a servant, waiting for the wish to finish eating with a stinky face. Then I went to clean the thermos, and finally went out early, still waiting for no one, and still riding the dust.

drag what?

No matter how much you pull, you have to give me breakfast!

Wishing to think about it, the more he felt that the breakfast was delicious, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He was afraid that Yuan Yao would poison him, and he was also afraid that he owed Yuan Yao something.

Yuan Yao saw that his action of sucking noodles slowed down, and tapped the edge of his bowl with chopsticks, "Eat it quickly, and I didn't poison you."

"There is no silver 300 taels here."

Wishing to feel that this person is really shameless, but still thanked someone from the bottom of his heart for buying him breakfast, and asked one more guilty question: "You, why do you wake up so early recently?"

"To poison you."

Yuan Yao pulled a piece of paper, folded it up and wiped his mouth, his movements were calm and unhurried, as if what he said was true.

The author has something to say:

Why don't you make a promise with your body?
